The 6 Year Evolution + A Tribute
Okay, technically, this October it will be 6 years in our current home. (So, really, it’s more like a 5 1/2+ year evolution, but who’s counting?) We started this little virtual home well into our home’s evolution (we’d been living here for not quite 2 years), but as we became more in synch with our […]
At Night
At the end of this post, we were called out last week by Julia – one of our go-to text-ing ladies for home advice – when she said, evening shots on home blogs – a rarity. It feels so elusive and mysterious. Ah, touché, Julia. This made us realize – well, she’s right! We’ve never […]
On House Hunting and The One
We’ve been dancing around the idea of a larger-to-us home for a while; it’s been a quest for more space, no more wall sharing, a yard for Jack and more room for the home studio as The Pet Shop (and soon-to-be Print Shop) continue to expand and grow. We’ve been marking yearly anniversaries around travel […]
Four Years, Whoa.
This October, we’ll be celebrating four years of living in this tiny home. It’s a bit nutty to think that aside from our childhood homes, this is the longest that either of us has stayed put in a single place. When I think about jumping around in college (where I ultimately met Scott as my […]
Back.
Since our plane landed in a rainy, chilly Chicago, we’ve been wondering if we made a wise decision to come back. Maybe not in the literal sense, but you get the idea. Buh-bye palm trees, endless sun, and rocky beaches. But after mucho wet kisses and bedtime nuzzles from the little ones, of course we’re […]
Home Is…
…rumpled sheets and kitty hang-time. While we love a clean, freshly made bed, weekends are in a league of their own. Playing hard on Saturday nights equal down time with the hubs and furballs on Sunday mornings. Sleeping in, scrambled eggs at noon, and midday movies are required. Of course this means no work (guilt […]
Get To Know: Us
Hmmm. Just how do all the pieces fit together? Our 650 square foot home, nestled on the second floor of a corner building, includes an open concept floor plan, a shotgun hallway, and two teeny bedrooms. We’ve been spillin’ the beans on all things home decor for the past 6+ months, including everything from ol’ […]
Old Sweet Home
For most of my life, I grew up in a ranch style home in Yellow Springs, Ohio. It was one mile from my first job at the Young’s Dairy ice cream shop, and I often get a hankerin’ for their sweet scoops served up in a crunchy waffle cone. Problem is, my family moved to […]
